In the recent past, a modulation technique called “LoRa” has become popular in the communication industry due to its long range capabilities with low power consumption, a few satellites have carried LoRa and worked successfully inspite of being skeptical about Doppler shift, packet loss, etc. This paper discusses the preliminary results of LoRa communications established from a recently launched cubesat. Satish Dhawan Satellite (SD Sat) is a 3U Cubesat built by Space kidz India, weighing 1.9 kg, it carried a radiation counter and magnetometer as its payload. It carried a LoRa transmitter which transmits beacon at 100 mW. It is also transmitting FSK RTTY and CW RTTY. The satellite was launched into sun-synchronous orbit at 510 × 498 km. Multiple ground stations around the world have confirmed the signal reception.

This research has the objective of implementing a sensors networkfor monitoring variable of environments using an IoT(Internet ofThings) technology focused on low energy consumption and longrange. The idea is to implement this network using LoRa technologyand LoRaWaN protocol. For a better utilization, it will be used andtested different LoRa parameters to communicate the nodes aimingshow the impacts of these parameters changes in long range, withconsistent data and low power consumption.

It is necessary to develop a high homogeneous, low power consumption, high frequency and small-size shim coil for high precision and low-cost atomic spin gyroscope (ASG). To provide the shim coil, a multi-objective optimization design method is proposed. All structural parameters including the wire diameter are optimized. In addition to the homogeneity, the size of optimized coil, especially the axial position and winding number, is restricted to develop the small-size shim coil with low power consumption. The 0-1 linear programming is adopted in the optimal model to conveniently describe winding distributions. The branch and bound algorithm is used to solve this model. Theoretical optimization results show that the homogeneity of the optimized shim coil is several orders of magnitudes better than the same-size solenoid. A simulation experiment is also conducted. Experimental results show that optimization results are verified, and power consumption of the optimized coil is about half of the solenoid when providing the same uniform magnetic field. This indicates that the proposed optimal method is feasible to develop shim coil for ASG.

AbstractUltracompact and low-power-consumption optical switches are desired for high-performance telecommunication networks and data centers. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip power-efficient 2 × 2 thermo-optic switch unit by using a suspended photonic crystal nanobeam structure. A submilliwatt switching power of 0.15 mW is obtained with a tuning efficiency of 7.71 nm/mW in a compact footprint of 60 μm × 16 μm. The bandwidth of the switch is properly designed for a four-level pulse amplitude modulation signal with a 124 Gb/s raw data rate. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed switch is the most power-efficient resonator-based thermo-optic switch unit with the highest tuning efficiency and data ever reported.
